Jann
Mardenborough
Jann Mardenborough has loved cars since he was
given a toy one as a baby. He loved them so
much that when he was eight his father took him
to a place where children race small cars called
karts. Staff at the kart centre told Jann he drove so well, he might one day become
a racing driver. Unfortunately, the kart centre closed soon afterwards, and there
wasn't another one near enough to his home that he could get to.
As he couldn't race karts any more, Jann decided to try computer racing games.
After lots of practice, he became very good. However, he never told his parents
what he was doing. Then, one day, when he was 18, he told them that he was one
of the top ten winners of a computer racing competition. They were very
surprised. His prize was to drive a real car in a race against the other nine top
players.
It was Jann's first time in a racing car, but, amazingly, he won the race! The prize
this time was a free course to learn to be a racing driver. He did really well, and
has found a job driving in a racing team.
